Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of butter, and whole milk. Stir until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the first layer of cream cheese, spreading it out evenly.
Carefully spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer, ensuring an even top.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Indulge cautiously!
